Aspectos tecnológicos del voto electrónico

El estudio examina, en primer lugar, el origen, ventajas e inconvenientes, así como las diferentes formas que existen para clasificar el voto electrónico. En segundo término, nos presenta una visión panorámica de las experiencias en el mundo de esta modalidad de sufragio; para, luego de ello, mostrar que en la actualidad las preocupaciones centrales de los investigadores se enfocan alrededor de los temas de uso del Internet para el voto electrónico, sistemas de criptografía para reforzar la seguridad, al igual que en la mejora de los equipos de votación y gestión de los comicios basados en tecnologías de información y comunicaciones. Asimismo, en el análisis se señala la importancia que se debe conceder a los estándares.

Gender in Apocalyptic California: The Ecological Frontier

Climate change is the consequence of ideologies that promote human reproduction and resource consumption by sacrificing human justice, nonhuman species, and the land. Both biology and queer ecologies resist this notion of human separation and supremacy by showing that no body is a singular, impermeable entity, that all beings are biologically and inexorably connected. My dissertation demonstrates that fiction writers use this knowledge to locate a utopian vision that can counteract the dystopian impotence of living within climate change. This argument is founded on novels written by women and set in California, a state that uniquely inhabits a utopian and dystopian place in the American cultural imagination. Early ecofeminist utopias depict environmentally sustainable and socially egalitarian communities that arise after apocalypse, but they are ultimately modeled on pastoral and primitivist idealizations of Indigenous societies. Contemporary dystopias reject the early model to show that pastoral fantasies are impossible in a world that has been so altered by climate change. By embracing queer ecologies to empathize more deeply with the rest of the world, characters in novels by Octavia Butler and N.K. Jemisin give readers a way to reconceptualize methods of ecological justice that could combat climate change. These visions of a queer ecological utopia respond to the ideological stagnation caused by climate change to provide an innovative environmental ethic that could guide humanity into surviving responsibly within and alongside the world
